adrian: Changing the Java version in the control panel doesn't change the CurrentJDK symlink (it does change the Current symlink, it seems).

Worked for me. Yes, messing around with the symlinks will probably bite us in the behind later, but at least it works NOW. Thanks Jon!

Don't change the symlinks around - it will come back to bite you. You can use the Java Preferences control panel to change the Java version for most situations, including the command line java and javac commands. For everything else just treat it like a standard UNIX system and adjust your PATH and JAVA_HOME variables.

Adjusting the symlinks has never been required on OS X and has always been strongly discouraged by Apple.
